Finally installed the green LEDs I got off EBay in my gauge cluster.
Current went from 1.32A down to 0.20A for the 4 bulb total and it's brighter.
Simple change, but a nice improvement.

You got pictures of these?

I ordered the bulbs, but I am using speedhut gauges which have their own lighting so I am not sure if I will use them.

I removed all the bulbs and taped up the sockets when I installed the Speedhut gauges.... :2cents:

Yea, I was planning on not even running the wiring, however I need to see how the overall panel lights up.

You will need at least one light for the switches....

I was thinking about that which is why I ordered the bulbs. We will see when I get to that point.

Those looks great! I am in the process of redoing my light bar as I am about the rewire the car. I may go with those bulbs as I am going to have my dash light work but since I am using SpeedHut gauges, I
plan to have a switch somewhere they can be turned off and on.

Cheers!

Nice looking gauges laddies! Wish I could see the light, but it was more body work, sanding and washing and epoxy priming for me. More soldering in store as I need to tackle the 1/4 seams and get that out of the way.  :cheers:
